02/2/26 T221 (Elm) T1 Dune Willow (I believe) Wished to be felled to ground level. Reason: The tree forms part of a group on the boundary of the church grounds and has naturally fort for light and made it lean heavily towards the road covering both lanes, and creating a very low canopy for passing vehicle?s, long term retention isn't plausible. Thank you.

Tree on land of the 44 club, behind 15 and 16 Wood Street.
